five bucks starbucks

a christmas card 
from my mother
arrives about ten years late.
somehow it got lost in the mail.
slid between a counter
somewhere down the line.
i open it up and a five dollar
bill falls out.
have a few cups of coffee on
me, she writes. merry xmas,
love mom.
i laugh out loud,
with five dollars
it's now down to one.
